How to Get Rid of Hackers?


Do you spend most of your time with social networking networks like Facebook and Twitter? Sharing your thoughts and ideas with friends through your tweets and wall post are the most exciting part of interacting with them. Your funny photos and live captured videos made all of these a total web experience. But doing all of these can expose you to possible intruders or hackers especially when you communicate with people you really do not know personally. So I'll give you preventive measures on how to get rid and protect your account. Here are the steps:

1. Don't share your e-mail address and password: Do not share your personal information on the net especially to people you do not know personally. Furthermore do not fill-up information on websites you don't really trust.

2. Avoid talking to strangers and adding them as friends: Add only people you really know personally.

3. Beware of websites that offer fake promos in exchange with your personal information: There are websites that are scams that usually asks you to fill-up a survey or form in exchange something you really want e.g. e-books, music and others.

4. Enable HTTPS: When you bookmark the URL for Facebook or any of your other social networks, be sure to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. This encrypts your communications.

5. REVIEW PERMISSIONS GRANTED TO THIRD PARTY APPS
When you grant access to Facebook apps, those permissions endure long after you stop using them. Go to this link to review your Facebook app permissions – and disable any you are no longer using.
6.Use a strong password and don’t let your browser remember itYour password is the key to your Facebook castle. If it isn’t strong, if it includes things that your friends and exes can guess, you’re leaving your drawbridge wide open. Creating and remembering strong passwords isn’t easy.
And tell Firefox, or whatever browser you use, that you don’t want it remembering your passwords. Don’t make life easier for hackers. (To clear your passwords in Firefox, go to “Tools” then “Clear Private Data” the close and reopen Firefox.)
7. Use unique passwords for all of your important accounts (and update them whenever you go the dentist)
For any account that really matters—your email, your bank and credit card accounts, Facebook—you need to use a unique, strong password that you do not use for any other account. Whenever a site is hacked, you see that this creates a security crisis across the Web. Why? People reuse passwords. Don’t be one of those people.
